The Socialist parade in New York, last
week, was composed of bad lot of foreigners
carrying red and black flags, which are en-
blems of anarchy, and they were allowed to
march and faunt their banners on the streets
because there was no law strong enough to
prevent it. Permission to parade must be
granted to any organization, if asked-for in
legal manner, in New York, and an exception
could not by made of the Anarchists-so said
the authorities. This state of affairs is
strong argument for the early passage of such
legislation as will control absolutely the move
ments of the enemies of the country that are
already here, and to bar out forever those that
will come from the other side if it be not
done. The tragedies at Chicago will be
repeated in other great cities unless vigorous
measures are taken at once to prevent their
recurrence

recurrence.

New YORK city is beginning to make prep
arations to celebrate, in 1889, the centennial
anniversary of the Inauguration of constitu-
tional government in America by the
installation of Washington President.
Committees of prominent citizens are arrang-
ing the preliminaries, and every effort will
be made to have a larger and more enthusiastic
celebration than that in Philadelphia this past
summer. Congress will be asked to make an
appropriation, and this will be supplemented
by requests for State and municipal dona-
tions, which, with the large sums expected to
be given by the wealthy citizens of New
York, will insure a sum sufficient to make
the affair success. But the first thing New
York ought to do is to finish the Grant mon
ument, and then there may be some faith in
their promises of successful centennial cele-
bration.

days most of the daily papers, thinking they
were comforting a favor on old friends and pa
irons, announced that the Merriams were
about to get out new edition OF Webster,
which would be ready by July next, and free
ly commented on the improvements that it
was to show over their previous efforts. But
the kindness was not appreciated, it seems,
for the Merriams indignantly deny the report,
and say that ''no new edition of the Una
bridged will be issued by next July or for
several years after that" The reason for this
is apparent. 1t stops trade at once if the pub
lie understands that in few months the new
work IS to be out. But the papers didn't
think of that when the free advertising was

THOMAS j. DoLAN, the mounted messenger
for the White House, who recently died in a

He was color-sergeant under General Grant at
one time during the war, and was appointed
messenger when Grant became President. He
was, like his famous chief peculiarly silent
man. Three times day he carried the mail
from the postoffice to the White House. He was
often questioned about letters in his care, but
would never vouchsafe the slightest answer He
knew now to keep secret and was faithful
and methodical worker.
IT appears from the results of tests made at
Christiania, Norway. that the De Bange gun is
likely to prove powerful rival of the famous
Krupp weapon. The former guns have calibre
of "a centimeters. and the number of shots
fred amounting to 1000, have not effected the
smallest trace of extension, the diameter, meas
ured before and after the 1000 shots, agreeing
to hundredth part of millimeter. The ac
curacy and the range of the firing have also
been entirely satisfactory Some minor draw
backs in connection with the gun carriages and
the regulating screws, both of which suffered
somewhat from the powerful recoil, have been
removed, and those used have stood the
last 600 rounds without the least hitch.

THE public-spirited women of st. Louis,
headed by lawyer Phoebe Couzins, held a
meeting the other day, and resolved that it
was high time that members of their own
sex were being elected to the School Board
When the nominating committee was inter-
viewed on the subject, the amiable gentle
men composing it had no hesitation in agreeing
that it was indeed high time that women
were represented on the board, but blandly
explained that the law explicitly required
white male citizens to hold such positions.
And then the women of St Louis. headed
by lawyer Phoebe, unanimously agreed that
the law was an ass, or words to that effect.

. "Barharous" Practice condemned

BY A KICKAPOO INDIAN DOCTOR.
Mrs W. c. Wood, of Medina, Ohio, in
a letter says:
zone reason | had for visiting the
Kickapoo Indian camp was to consult the
Indian doctor with regard to my little
girl. She was seven years old, and for
the preceding three months had been
troubled with short hacking cough
which feared might prove the forerun :
ner of consumption. | called in our
regular medical attendant who carefully
examined her lungs and chest. and al
though pronouncing them sound thought
there was some irritating cause in the
inner portion of the windpipe. In
order to remove this. he pushed
down what he called a probarg into the
windpipe and burnt it with caustlc, re-
peating the operation on several occas>
ions. This did no good; on the contrary
it rather increased the irritation if there
was any. and made the cough worse
Anxious beyond measure for nv child,
took her to the Indian doctor and ex>
planned the matter to him. He was much
as;onished and severely condemned such
a horrible practice which he termed
''hsrbarous, and said it might really
have caused irritation, which if il extend
ed into the lungs would produce con-
sumption He said two or three bottle,
of Kickapoo cough cure would heal an!
irritation, sooth the inner surface of th'
throat and thereby check the cough anc

Illuminating gas is composed of nearly
equal portions of hydrogen and carbon,
which. when burned in free air, gives a
brilliantly luminous flame, but affords
comparatively little heat. Atmospheric
gas is composed of one part of illumin>
atlng gas aud seven parts of air, which
gas, while it affords little or no light,
makes an intensely hot flame. This mix
ture is obtained through the agency OF a
very simple attachment known as the
"Bunson Burner, which is so constructed
that it acts as an injector, the ordi~
nary pressure of illuminating gas being
sufficient to draw in and carry to the
point of combustion the proper proper
